Python Editing and Updating Excel/Csv File

Question

So I am trying to create a program that will give me the next value in a sequence for a certain letter. For instance, A4 or B8 or C23. I believe the easiest way to do this would be to create a CSV file and reference that file in Python and update it. But I am having troubles doing it. Can I get some help? I am using Spyder/anaconda. the program will ask what letter the user wants and it will give the next value in that letter's sequence.

I'd recommend using the openpyxl library. You can use this to get and edit values in a csv or spreadsheet. You can use it like this:

from openpyxl import load_workbook
wb = load_workbook(filename = 'yourSpreadsheet.xlsx') #select file
ws = wb.active #select worksheet
a4 = ws['A4'] #get contents of cell A4
ws['A5'] = a4 + 1 #set cell A5 to the value of cell A4+1
wb.save('resultSheet.xlsx')
